Learnin'

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes-and ships-and sealing-wax-
Of cabbages-and kings-
And why the sea is boiling hot-
And whether pigs have wings."

And for me to immerse myself in books and mnemonics and timelines and mind maps. And baking bread and making preserves and digging and sewing and chivvying small boys. And the odd glass or three of Merlot.
